The verb work has a different meaning in the continuous tenses than it does in the simple tenses. You use the continuous tenses, with the '-ing' form, to talk about a temporary job, but the simple tenses to talk about a permanent job. For example, if you say 'I'm working in London', this suggests that the situation is temporary and you may soon move to a different place. If you say 'I work in London', this suggests that London is your permanent place of work.
动词 work 用于进行时和一般时时意义不同。用于进行时表示工作是临时性的,例如,I'm working in London (我目前在伦敦工作)暗示这种情形是暂时的,可能很快就会迁移到另一个地方。用于一般时则表示工作是固定的,例如,I work in London (我在伦敦工作),暗示伦敦是固定的工作地点。
